The Gimp Squad were all out today and had a great morning, as the
weather just got better and better. Bert and Ernie were rocking the
kinkiest overshoes ever. I had my new gimp jacket and Hannibal was
rocking his man in black look before getting down and dirty at
tomorrow's cross race.

We'd braved rain to get down to Forester
Green, but once there the rain stopped and things brightened up. With a
slight west wind we settled on Dromore, but as usual wiggled a bit to
get there. We were all on relaxed form
and did long turns as we chatted away, just enjoying being out on quiet
roads. We swung out beyond Dromore, then back in for coffee using some
roads we learnt on the Dromore CC sportive.

Refreshed we headed for Ballynahinch and halfway dropped the hammer -
it was a training ride after all.... The route home took in a few
lesser used roads and a few frequently used roads, bringing four smiling
cyclists back to Belfast. Turns out I run better on Heinekenpower than
Peronipower, but maybe it's a quantity thing..... ‪#‎rubberbandits‬
